Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it isfor a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose issettled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is tofind it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walkinto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it instock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceedsat once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less thanfive minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not havewhat he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case thesalesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else——heoffers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings outsuch a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. I know thisjacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size?It happens to be the color you mentioned. Few men have patience withthis treatment, and the usual response is: This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting mytime and yours by trying it on.
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost everyrespect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based onneed. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she isonlyhaving a look around. She is always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any numberof things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something thateveryone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellentsense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for theunexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, beforeselecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, butapparently an enjoyable one. So most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

答案：
62.D
定位：根据题干信息when a man is buying clothes可将答案定位到文章前两段。
解析：第一段中提到：男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的目的是既定的，而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么，而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来，价格倒在其次。可见，男士不怎么会考虑价格，故选D。
63.A
定位：根据题干信息a good salesman可将答案定位到第二段第二句。
解析：第二段开头提到：对于男人来说，如果商店没有他想买的东西或者并不完全符合他心里的条件，可能会引发一些小问题。在那种情况下，导购就要像自己的职业名称(导‘购’)所暗示的那样，尝试卖给顾客别的东西：他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。可见，一名优秀的导购是能成功将其他东西推销给顾客的，故选A。
64.B
定位：根据题干信息cannot get exactly what he wants可将答案定位到第二段第一句。
解析：第二段描述的是如果商店没有与男人想象的完全一样的商品时，会出现什么情况。题干的重点在于男人的反应，因此寻读到第二段结尾处，此处作者提到：对于这种情况，男人很少会买账，他们一般都会说：‘也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适，但要是让我试穿的话，既浪费了你的时间，也浪费了我的。’可见，在这种情况下，男人一般是什么都不会买的，故选B。
65.C
定位：根据题干信息when shopping for clothes，women可将答案定位到第三段。
解析：第三段中提到：女人总是肯听他人的劝说，她重视女店员的话，甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试穿一下。在她内心深处，她要找的衣服，是所有人都认为适合她的。可见，女士很容易听取他人的建议。故C项为正确答案。
66.D
定位：根据题干信息the most obvious difference betweenmen and women可知解答本题需通观全文。但由于涉及女性的购物特点，因此可到第三段寻找线索。
解析：在讲男人买衣服的情况时，作者提到：如果店里有货，销售员能及时找到，而且马上就能试穿或试用，这一切顺利的话，整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。在讲女人买衣服的情况时，作者提到：面对一屋子衣服，她们也许很容易就花上一个小时，一排排浏览，来来回回乐此不疲;她们会不时地折返脚步，直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。因此，男人与女人在买衣服问题上最主要的区别就很明显了，故本题应选D。
